Somewhere in some distant memories where vampires and werewolves existed among the humans in low profile, there was a very young lass excited to listen to her mother’s bedtime story every night.
“Mom, tell me a new story.” an excited five years old young wolf jumps up and down as she ushers her mother for another bedtime story.
“What kind of story you wanted to hear this time, hm?” her mother smiled as she carried her daughter toward her bed.
“Hmm, what about vampires?” the young wolf suggested with her innocent tone that made her mother shake her head.
“Hm, I am not sure if I should tell you his story…” her mother was a bit doubtful about whether to speak about a story of a certain vampire that she knew about.
“C’mon, Mom! Pretty please!” the young wolf once again pleaded to her mother who chuckled and laid down beside her daughter.
“Alright, I will tell you the un-beating heart of the Nomad Blood Prince.” her mother agreed to tell her about a certain vampire.
“I’m excited.” the young wolf giggled as she settled comfortably in the loving arms of her mother.
The mother of the young wolf started by telling a story of a certain vampire who lost everything in one blink of an eye.
There was flame everywhere and one by one the family clan began to fall into an inferno when a young vampire started looking for his remaining family. But everywhere was full of madness and blood as the flame ate everything it touch until he heard some arguments.
He came to where the argument was coming from but he was too late already. His brother was in his madness; he beheaded their father and took the heart of their mother before him. He was no longer the brother he looked up to. His sight began to be covered with blood and the darkness of the night. It was the same night when the young vampire became the nomad blood prince.
“I HATE YOU, MOM!” the young wolf shouted at her mother.
“Why is that?” her mother was giggling.
“You scared me with that story.” the young wolf pouted.
“Is that so? Honey, that vampire lost everything in one night. He didn’t lose his family and his there, he also lost his heart that’s why his heart was not beating anymore. He’s empty. So, are you still scared of him?” her mother explained then asked.
“I will be the same…but…” the young wolf thinks carefully upon hearing her mother’s brief explanation.
“I will give him his heart back. He will definitely feel alive again, Mom. I promise to the moon…” the young wolf firmly decided as sleep finally took over her.
Her mother chuckled in amusement but there was something lies hidden beneath her smile upon hearing the determined decision of her daughter. It made her thought of the certain vampire who she trusts and comfortable with.
Years already passed and the generation was now different from the old ones. But nothing changed when it comes to merging families or packs and the Yu family from Wolf’s Cry pack was no exception in that part. “Lady Ashlyn, you had a family meeting after your work.” Ashlyn’s secretary reminded her about the meeting that she’ll be having at home. “I know and I am heading there now so kindly check their drafts before sending me the final design before printing them.” Ashlyn sighed as she fixed everything on her office desk. Ashlyn Kim Yu was a twenty-six years old female soon-to-be alpha of their pack and she not just had a pack to handle but also had a printing business that she operates. It was her daily work whenever she was not doing her pack tasks.
When she heard that voice there was something in her that started to have the urge to run into the stranger’s arms. She hated what she felt until the familiar scent hit her nostril. It was the same scent that she came across.“Miss? Are you alright?” the soothing and charming voice snapped her from smelling the scent that was coming from the stranger.“Dammit, why my mate has to show up now?! Fuck, my life!” Ashlyn clicked her tongue as she ignored that stranger and went off without saying anything.As Ashlyn went on her run, the hooded traveling stranger watched her run away without looking back or even thanking her for saving her life.The traveling stranger looked longingly over the retreating back of the lady
“WHY SHE’S HERE?!” Ashlyn ignored Vladimir before angrily asking her parents about his presence around their house. “She’s rude for ignoring me like that.” Vladimir sighed as he thought about being ignored again by the same woman. “Who’s she? Anyway, where have you been we have to talk over that attitude of yours.” Ashlyn's father, Alpha Jace was getting irritated by the attitude of his daughter again. But he was controlling himself in front of a polite vampire in their house. “I AM NOT TALKING TO YOU!” Ashlyn growled at his father and her mother, Serenity ignored them before smiling at Vladimir apologetically. “Ahm, I think I better leave, and thank you for letting me stay.” Vladimir excused himself as he still thanked them for lett
“That’s…something…” Vladimir mumbled as he watched Ashlyn run away from him again. Vladimir might be a pureblooded vampire yet the reflexes of his beloved mate seriously took him by surprise and made him fly. He was totally amused since he got a very strong yet violent beloved mate but something that he could not tolerate when it comes to his physical appearance. “She’s going to pay for that.” Vladimir gritted his teeth while rubbing his right cheek where Ashlyn suddenly punched him. He did not like somebody messing with his face - his beautiful and gorgeous face. It was totally a different matter. Yet, at the corner of his lips, a smirk was forming as he watched the retreating back of his violent beloved mate. As for Ashlyn, she just went in a rush to go back to their house with an adrenaline rush passing through her entire body, particularly to her face. She was blushing really hard while her heartbeat was already ringing in her ears. “Dammit, what’s wrong with me?” Ashlyn com
“I REALLY HATE THIS!!!!” Ashlyn screamed inside her mind when she suddenly launched on Vladimir. But this time, Vladimir managed to sense her presence and dodge easily.“What’s wrong with you?” Vladimir asked as he started blocking each incoming punch that Ashlyn was giving his way.“YOU HAPPENED!” Ashlyn gives Vladimir a double roundhouse kick before giving him a hook punch that he managed to block.“As if I am really the cause of that.” Vladimir was still trying not to snap from Ashlyn's sudden attacks.“YES, YOU ARE!” she kept on her offensive mode since her feelings were totally all over the place since she was not sure of what it was.
Ashlyn was in the middle of her dream. She found herself that she was in a very peaceful place where the full moon shines beautifully. It really calms her down but as she watched the moonlight glows, she suddenly flinches and loses her balance when she heard a snapping twig. “Such a clumsy lady.” a very charming voice that never failed to send shivers down her spine while thin yet masculine and cold arms supported her. It was preventing her to fall from where she slipped. “I’M NOT CLUMSY! YOU SCARED ME! There’s a difference.” Ashlyn snapped angrily but she softened. She realized that there was nothing to be irritated about. “Then I should let you fall.” the person who was possessing the charming voice dared her and attempt on letting her go. “DON’T YOU
Ashlyn was in the middle of her drive toward her business shop but on the way, she recalled that she does not have any work for the day. She maneuvered the car on a roundabout corner that was heading to the city proper. She drove her car back to their small village and decided to have some hot breakfast coffee and ate her to-go breakfast that her mate handed to her earlier. Just by thinking of her mate, there was a rush of heat over her veins that made her irritated again. She groaned as she parked her car in front of one of the cafes in their village that was near the entrance. “Just thinking about her sad face, I wanted to rip somebody or something.” Ashlyn gritted her teeth before slamming her hand over the stirring wheel again. Good thing, it was not smashed into pieces then she grabbed the paper bag and went to the cafe.
After a couple of staying in a daze at the cafe’s parking lot, Ashlyn went on her drive back home to send her mother’s order. As soon as she got back to their house, she was totally expressionless and did not utter any words when her mother welcomed her with a smile. She just passed her and went upstairs but she skipped the last step which made her stumbled. “Fuck.” Ashlyn grumpily reacted as she clicked her tongue while easing the pain over her knee. “Are you alright there, honey?” her mother worried and asked but that was not because of her daughter’s usual clumsiness but what was making her in a daze. “Yeah, I am fine. I’ll be in my room.” Ashlyn answered and went straight to her bedroom without waiting for any reply from her mother.
